NAME

       ExtUtils::Miniperl - write the C code for perlmain.c

SYNOPSIS

           use ExtUtils::Miniperl;
           writemain(@directories);
           # or
           writemain($fh, @directories);
           # or
           writemain(\$filename, @directories);

DESCRIPTION

       "writemain()" takes an argument list of directories containing archive libraries that
       relate to perl modules and should be linked into a new perl binary. It writes a
       corresponding perlmain.c file that is a plain C file containing all the bootstrap code to
       make the modules associated with the libraries available from within perl.  If the first
       argument to "writemain()" is a reference to a scalar it is used as the filename to open
       for output. Any other reference is used as the filehandle to write to. Otherwise output
       defaults to "STDOUT".

       The typical usage is from within a Makefile generated by ExtUtils::MakeMaker. So under
       normal circumstances you won't have to deal with this module directly.
